In this week’s newsletter, I’m going to break down how freelance writing can grow a podcast’s brand authority, revenue and reach. I will share:

  • The strategy of monetizing with freelance writing

  • How to Find Freelance projects

  • The Good

  • The Bad

  • Helpful Tips

Monday Twitter Spaces

My Twitter Handle: @MichLovesMoney

Every Monday at 6:00 pm MTN I host a Twitter space where we discuss different topics related to podcast monetization that I cover in the newsletter. The Twitter Space has been created to:

  • Build community

  • Validate your goal of monetizing your work

  • Connect podcasters with other people in the space

What I tweet about regularly

  • Personal Finance and Social Equity

  • Pop culture-I love Star Trek! Strange New Worlds and The Boys are living rent free in my mind.

  • Politics as related to policy

  • Colorado

Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.

Free Subscribers

You are getting a small taste of what’s included in the paid subscription. I’ve created the paid subscription instead of a course because of the following:

  • Monetization is a long-term strategy

  • Most people need ongoing support and ideas before the right strategy/strategies work for the podcaster and their audience.

  • I wanted to create an affordable and accessible tool for everyone-courses are more expensive upfront.

10 Tips to Find Freelance Jobs

These tips work for all content spaces. I do want to point out that earnings may vary based on your expertise, the organization that you decide to write for and what you negotiate. Some content spaces pay more than others.

  • Tell people in your content space that you’re looking to add freelance writing to your brand. A closed mouth doesn’t get fed.

  • Create the written content YOU would like to be hired for on YOUR website. This approach helps you build out a writing portfolio quickly.

  • Attend conferences-Many conferences host hiring events or networking events that connect attendees with brands looking to collaborate. If your favorite conference doesn’t offer this resource reach out to the conference organizers and share this idea. Or, organize it yourself offsite (can be as easy or as difficult as you make it) Once that’s done, begin networking. These collaborations could be the following:

    • Brand partnerships

    • Creating white hat content-Like the video series I was hired to do for Experian.

    • Written content for websites
